IGer with shop causes crash i suppose

[fp231]

Hi Guys,

first of all: what a great project. I experimented with a lot of bots and this one is just great, because it's real.

But i stumbled on an issue: The bot crashes when an account has got a shop. Cannot find Follow Botton, i suppose because of the Shop Button on top of it. I would love to help, but my python isnt good enough. So here is the error promt:

Cannot find neither Follow button, nor Unfollow button. Maybe not English language is set? Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/Desktop/instabot/handybot/Insomniac/insomniac.py", line 397, in wrapper func(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/pi/Desktop/instabot/handybot/Insomniac/insomniac.py", line 203, in job on_interaction) File "/home/pi/Desktop/instabot/handybot/Insomniac/src/action_handle_blogger.py", line 43, in handle_blogger _iterate_over_followers(device, interaction, is_follow_limit_reached, storage, on_interaction, is_myself) File "/home/pi/Desktop/instabot/handybot/Insomniac/src/action_handle_blogger.py", line 143, in _iterate_over_followers interaction_succeed, followed = interaction(device, username=username, can_follow=can_follow) File "/home/pi/Desktop/instabot/handybot/Insomniac/src/action_handle_blogger.py", line 264, in _interact_with_user return True, _follow(device, username, follow_percentage) File "/home/pi/Desktop/instabot/handybot/Insomniac/src/action_handle_blogger.py", line 346, in _follow save_crash(device) File "/home/pi/Desktop/instabot/handybot/Insomniac/src/utils.py", line 102, in save_crash device.dump_hierarchy("crashes/" + directory_name + "/view_hierarchy" + view_hierarchy_format) File "/home/pi/Desktop/instabot/handybot/Insomniac/src/device_facade.py", line 76, in dump_hierarchy outfile.write(xml_dump) UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\u0308' in position 11605: ordinal not in range(256)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

If i can help in any way, let me know. Big Thanks and best regards, fp

yes, me too, I notice that in one device, so I guess it's not able to find the button follow and crashes, however I solved more or less the issue skipping business accounts

Hey guy, did you find a solution ? On my side, skipping business account did not solve the issue, sometime the bot goes in the account anyway.

You can fix this by launching your script this way

python -Xutf8 start.py --your commands

[adchsm]

I can confirm I'm also receiving this error, which causes an endless loop of error -> settings -> back to user - > error -> settings -> etc etc.

Running the command above with -Xutf8 as GitNees suggested didn't fix it for me.

EDIT: If you're a paid Patreon user, skipping business profiles works, but ultimately I would still like to target business profiles.

EDIT 2: It seems some accounts with shops are still being targeted when skipping business profiles when interacting and when scraping.

Fixed on v3.4.0 - shop-profiles support added
